We seek to improve the lives and wellbeing of First Nations and culturally diverse peoples in Australia and around the globe.

Respect. Partnership. Social justice.

Our community of like-minded, transdisciplinary researchers are passionate about diversity and committed to social justice, equity and inclusion.

Our expanding footprint into new communities brings opportunities for genuine and close partnerships with Indigenous and transcultural communities and engagement in co-research and community capacity exchange.
